No run

We interrupt the previously scheduled morning run qith a dog emergency.

For those that know me I make a conscious effort to note my food when I am truly focused.  Which I have been.  And I noted too much wine the other night and the subsequent sandwich and chips the next day.  And I noted the healthy food as well.

The culprit I always try to stay on top of.... fresh beets! 
You know the color goes through the system pretty much unaltered.  Had a doctors visit on the subject alone.  Inagine my embarrassment.

So this morning getting the dog is his cart and I notice a ting of red in his urine.  I take him outside to go potty and eat.  Sure enough crazy red urine.

Text my friend the pharmacist.
Call the vet.
Text a friend just to calm down. Their dog always has blood in urine problems.

And then I come back inside.  There is a dish on the floor by his corner.  I curse that it didnt make it in the dishwasher last night. Mutter mutter mutter as I bend down tom pick it up.

BEETS!  I had beets this week.  Bacchus had the bottom of the plate goodness from them last night.

Called the vet back. Cancelled the appointment.  And made a note to not only remember what I eat but to also remember what scraps I give the dog.

Now to swim.

Phew
